I use DDG because it's better than Google in my scenarios. Yes, Google is often better for "hard" searches, but actually DDG tends to give me what I want, not some SEO monstrosity, on my normal searches.
- kenhwang 6y agoEven on my hard searches, Google gives me a bunch of useless SEO and ads. It's like we're past peak search and we're slowly going to stop being able to find things on the internet.
- xref 6y agoEveryone has anecdotes, I’m a DDG user and the results are nearly always worse/more stale than I got before ditching google two years ago (still have to !g a lot) but hey, at least it’s not google all the time. Google having a decade of my search history just makes for really relevant results, even if I don’t like the company’s practices.
- wraptile 6y agoBangs are the killer feature for me and I'm surprised google hasn't stolen it yet. Just kinda illustrates how entrenched Google's search engine is that it keeps removing features rather than adding them and still is number one search engine in the world.
- srtjstjsj 6y agoChrome supports fully customizable bangs (and I assume Firefox does too) so why should Google search bother with them?
